The CollectA Andalusian Stallion Palomino measures: 6.5" L x 5" T.
While the manufacturer picture suggests the horse is dark brown, / black, the actual color is more of a regular brown, which gives it a unique and captivating look.
The CollectA Andalusian Stallion Palomino model features a beautifully flowing mane and tail that add to the horse's overall grace and elegance. The prancing pose of the horse, combined with the flowing hair, gives a sense of fluid motion that truly captures the spirit of this magnificent breed.
One of the standout features of this model is the contrast in coloring between the dark hair and lower legs and the brown body. It's a small detail, but it adds depth and dimension to the model, making it all the more striking.
The horse's face is also worth mentioning. The strong features and expression perfectly capture the breed's regal and intelligent nature, adding to the model's overall appeal.
Pairs well with the CollectA Andalusian Stallion - Grey (#88464) which is the exact same model in different colors.
Andalusian stallions are horses that belong to the Andalusian breed, also known as the Pure Spanish Horse or Pura Raza Española (PRE). The Andalusian breed originated in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically in the region of Andalusia in southern Spain. These horses are known for their elegance, strength, and versatility.
Andalusian stallions are typically characterized by their compact and muscular build, arched necks, and expressive heads. They have a height range of around 15 to 16.2 hands (60 to 65 inches or 152 to 165 cm) at the withers, which is the highest point of the horse's shoulder. They have a noble and intelligent temperament, making them highly trainable and suitable for various disciplines.
Historically, Andalusian horses were used as war horses due to their agility, courage, and ability to perform complex maneuvers. They were also favored by royalty and nobility for their beauty and elegance. Today, Andalusians are widely sought after for dressage, classical riding, and exhibitions, but they can also excel in other equestrian disciplines such as show jumping, driving, and western riding.
The breed's notable characteristics include their high-stepping movements, known as "airs above the ground," which include maneuvers like the levade, courbette, and capriole. These movements were historically used in battle to evade and attack opponents.
Andalusian stallions, as well as mares and geldings (castrated males), are cherished for their beauty, athleticism, and versatility, making them a popular choice among horse enthusiasts and riders worldwide.
